I have to go back to work today after two weeks off’ and I’m so terrified to go. Everybody is going to look at me with those questioning eyes, smile their fake smiles, talk their small talk, ask how I’m feeling…
What do you say to them?
Thanks for asking!
“I’ve been off for two weeks because I can’t handle life. And when I get to this point I like to hurt myself, so I needed this time to recuperate from the demon emotions that overtake who I may or may not be, oh and I binged this weekend like a fat kid in a candy store only because my doctor told me my weight dropping is out of control, and I’m becoming seriously underweight! (Exactly what I wanted him to say). Thanks Doc!”
So thank you for asking my fine, fair weather co-worker friends! It’s been a marvelous two weeks off!
How do you go back, and not feel like a leper?
